2. Lore

Varimathras must be defeated before the final three encounters in
Antorus, the Burning Throne can be accessed.

As one of the dreadlords overseeing the Legion's forces during the
Third War, Varimathras failed to stop the rebellious Lich King. He submitted
to an ill-fated alliance with Sylvanas Windrunner, then made one last bid for
power before facing a humiliating defeat.

In payment for his blunders, Varimathras has been tortured by the Coven
of Shivarra. The vindictive sisters stripped away both flesh and sanity,
leaving only a singular desire to inflict suffering upon the mortals who cost
him everything.

3. Outline

Varimathras is a single phase encounter, however, the room
cycles between several elemental states that have varying effects on the raid.
The fight itself differs enormously between each tier of difficulty, and
can be very challenging on higher difficulties. Varimathras is a
straightforward encounter, but it can be extremely punishing and has the
potential to quickly spiral out of control.

4. TL;DR

Anyone who takes Shadow damage suffers Misery, preventing
all healing taken for 7 seconds as well as increasing Physical damage
taken by 200%. All of Varimathras' abilities deal Shadow damage with
the exception of the state changes his cell undergoes throughout the
encounter.

4.1. Tanks

Perform a taunt swap after each Shadow Strike. The inactive tank
should move behind Varimathras after the taunt swap has taken
place.

Ensure you are fully topped off and have cooldowns available before
Torment of Shadows occurs.

Move out of the group with Necrotic Embrace (Heroic+ only); an
allied player must accompany the afflicted player. One of the two players
must be able to immune the debuff off. If you have strong personal
cooldowns you may be able to survive alone, however, be aware you will not
be able to receive healing for some time.
